Gee, It’s almost like current policies are prepping us for socialism…

Body sizes vary widely all across the southern half of Texas, but opposite of what you would expect they tend to get much larger the further south you go once you’re south of San Antonio and then west towards the border. Of course, feeding them helps but genetics, age and habitat play the...

Our fully mature bucks (6yo & older) average 175lbs field dressed prior to the rut, we had one last year just shy of 200 lbs dressed. About 100 miles north of us in the “hill country” it’s dang hard to find a mature buck that dresses out over 100lbs.

Great Bull! Congrats!

Here are a few pics from my game cameras. Full disclosure: these are from a highly managed (by my B-I-L and me) low fence ranch in South Texas. We do feed whole cottonseed January- September as a supplement, you can see some of it in the pics (not interested in arguing about feeding, I’m just...

Cool video! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the hunt!

I’ve had excellent success with Kennetrek’s, the mountain extremes I have will be going on their 4th season this year, no issues with the rand separating or premature wear. Excellent foot and ankle support, but fit is very subjective - they happen to fit my feet perfect. Everyone should try...

I ordered some in .243, .284 and .308 on Monday, got a shipping confirmation today. I doubt I’ll get them in time to shoot this weekend, but the following weekend I should should have a report.

I finally found a can of BH209, I was at Bass Pro and they had one can. I still had some, but not enough for my son to practice much before his muzzleloader hunt in 3 weeks. I have a box of 300gr LR bullets from Arrowhead Rifles showing up tomorrow or Friday so he’ll get plenty of prone...

I’m hoping so, that was my last package of straps! My son has hunt at the end of this month in NM, hopefully that will be the start of the freezer restock.

Stuck at the house this weekend trying to knock out some projects before my hunting season gets going in earnest. Upside is I pulled out a couple back straps and tossed them on the grill in time to watch the Aggie football game. New to me TEC infared grill, awesome back straps and a sear that...

Yeah, me too! That was my last package of elk and it was a surprise find in amongst the whitetail in the freezer. 57 more days until my elk hunt, not that I’m counting down or anything…

Now that is the way to pack them out!

That sucks, what an unfortunate situation with those fires. Best of luck to you next year!
